The Twisted Bine Beer Co. project started with EDC through the Borough Collaborative project. It was then handed off to EDC’s Business Retention Expansion team who worked with EDC Finance to assist Twisted Bine Beer Co. in securing an SBA 504 loan.

Twisted Bine will make a variety of seasonal beer styles, offering eight on tap at a time alongside a few beers from other Pennsylvania brewers.

The restaurant menu will feature traditional bar food such as burgers and sandwiches.

Twisted Bine is owned by Jamie and Susan Lowell, who are being helped by two longtime homebrewers as well as a brewery consultant.

The Lowells, who bought the property in June 2017 for $362,500, are overseeing an extensive renovation which includes updating the heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems.

They also are revealing the original wooden floors, beams and bricks of the circa-1923 building. And, new glass has been put in the front of the building as well as a glass garage doors on the side that can be opened in warm weather.
